Here are a couple of carved walking sticks that I have recently completed. They are carved from Diamond Willow sticks and are finished with Golden Oak Stain and six coats of brushing lacquer.

Good looking faces in your walking sticks, I really like the feather too.

I haven't heard of diamond willow, is that a local name or some feature of the tree?

Well, I found something about diamond willow, very interesting. Apparently it doesn't grow down here.
